A traditional flower still life by artist Marion Buricatu, this oil painting captures a bouquet of pink carnations and vibrant green foliage in a silver pitcher. The setup stands out against the soft and muted beige and gray table and background. A single carnation lays across the table in the shadow of the rest of the arrangement. The works comes framed in a clean, white frame for the perfect balance of modern and traditional in a piece of wall decor suited for any entryway, sitting area, or breakfast nook!
Artist Commentary:
By December of 2020, aka month 9 of confinement, I was finding life a little... slow. I’m sure many of you had similar feelings as the holidays approached. The days just seemed to stretch on and family gatherings were cancelled and no end was in sight.
My parents in France were also feeling the weight of loneliness. To keep my spirits up, I decided to do a simple painting. Now what would I use? Carnations! My mom’s favorite flowers, and her mother’s too. A silver milk pitcher! A silver tea set was on my wedding list 20+ years ago, in Paris. I put the flowers inside the pitcher, and got working. Even though I couldn’t travel that year, the subject of my painting transported me slightly to another place than the one I was stuck in. And it was enjoyable; I really liked painting the complexity of the flowers, the reflections of light on the silver pitcher, and practicing a variety of techniques.
About the Artist:
Life is basically a huge collection of moments. Sometimes you have no idea how everything will end up tying together - Marion Buricatu had a lot of those moments, and she definitely never expected Marion’s Workshop to be the result. (As is often said, funny where life takes you!) Marion was born in the rural town of La Fleche, and grew up surrounded by the ocher wheat fields and dark green forests that make up the French landscape. Academically, Marion oriented herself towards science and received a masters in Geophysics from Pierre et Marie Curie University. She recalls with a chuckle that she excelled at anything visual, like cartography and identifying minerals under telescopes. After graduating, she worked in the environmental management field. In 2001, Marion and her family moved to the USA. She decided to try her hand at something completely new: painting! She found she had a knack for oil painting, and began painting originals and teaching her own classes in 2011. As she grew her business, two big themes emerged in her work: France and the USA. Marion was especially drawn to landscapes and scenes of daily life; she would paint American scenes with a French eye, and French scenes with an American eye. Marion’s life reflects biculturalism and its contradictions. It took an embarrassingly long time for this Eureka moment to happen! But once she realized it Marion began expanding her horizons in the art world, building off this cornerstone. She deepened her technical training and educated herself in art history. In 2015, she started exhibiting and developed a series called “Art Talks,” simple presentations aimed at making art history accessible to all. In 2018, Marion was certified as a docent at the Worcester Art Museum. In 2019, she started teaching with the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, where she works with students of all ages. Looking back, Marion says it’s incredible how all of those moments came together so well. Her childhood in France, her move to the USA, starting a company based on her cultural duality, and her curiosity to see everyday things with a new eye. Everything added up to create a business that fully embodies Marion - from her French roots to her American life.
